I agree, very good choice.

[DevilsDuck]

why thank you! I have started calling him Woody as his nickname......which is fine until Henry starts shouting "get down woody, get down"

Good luck on the driving test rubber-ducky. Try to relax and keep ya cool, tis just you out for a drive..... And don't forget, if you know you've messed up a manouver or something, you are within your rights to ask to do it again. Although I think twice is the limit, you can't try to reverse park 18 times till you get it right!!

Tired pants?

[DevilsDuck]

Some of us wear pants.

[Jill]

Good luck Duck!... I've been driving for 7 months now and i love it.

Annoying me however is my chocolate cake i made turning out to be crap.

[Nicola_Red]

I hate it when my baking goes wrong. It always really upsets me. Do you know what you did wrong Jill, or was it just a random failure?

[Yudster]

I've had chocolate cake which hasn't been quite right, or hasn't worked in the way I intended, but for it to be crap would be very upsetting. Given that the ingredients are what they are, its not an easy thing to achieve really - unless it stays in the oven too long, I hate crispy cake.

[DevilsDuck]

I hate crispy cake.

Thats almost as bad as crispy duck.....

[Yudster]

Crispy duck is lovely though. Shredded,with finely sliced cucumber and plum sauce, wrapped in pancakes. Mmmmmm.....crispy duck.........

[DevilsDuck]

I like me some sweet and sour Yudster, hard to get nowadays, but my supplier, who we will call Mr F-Loose......no no....too obvious......Mr Foot-L

[foot-loose]

Don't eat the Yudster!

[DevilsDuck]

oh?

Annoying me......sending an email to the whole site instead of just my area......oops!

Didn't go down well

[Yudster]

I have had a few email disasters in my time that still send shivers of schadenfreude through me when I think about them. Here come the cold sweats now in fact - aaaaargh.......

[DevilsDuck]

mine wasnt to bad.....but the director of customer relations was the person who sent the email pointing out it was sent to the wrong distribution list!

[foot-loose]

I once sent an email riddled with innuendo to the whole of the card services part of the bank - say maybes 6000 people? It was only meant for one person.

The shriek from my boss as she read it was spectacular. The replies I got back were pretty good as well. I was in the dog house for a few days after that.

[DevilsDuck]

Traffic lights.......it took me 2hours and 20 mins to get to work today!

Damn you traffic light gods *shakes fist*

*awaits 4hour journey home*

My parents had a huge, pointless, tedious row of which point I go so fed up I just shouted at the top of my voice "WILL YOU * JUST SHUT THE * UP!!!!" after clamly & politely asking them to stop several times.

Suffice to say that I can't be * bothered to speak to the pair of them now, it's been a while since they had one but never have I had to raise my voice like that at them ever. It did shut them up thankfully, however I hope this is all sorted by tomorrow as it's my brothers birthday tomorrow & I could really do without all this bollocks.

It was my own fault - it was a chocolate sponge so i had one half on the top shelf of the oven and the other half in the middle. I kinda left them in the oven a bit longer than needed to so the one on the top shelf got burnt and as i was rushing to get the second half out from the second shelf of the oven it slipped and fell on the floor. I iced it all and this was the finished result... was a bit dry tasting.



I have made a classic victoria sponge since which was delicious.





Sorry the pics are big!

[Boboff]

Impressive cakes Jill.

I love making cakes!

[catherine]

My hips and pelvis hurt, I think my sickness is coming back and the baby keeps me awake every morning from 3/4am to have a good dance and kick around. Pregnancy is so great...

I would also really like a large chicken kebab with extra pickled chillies, please.

[Yudster]

Too much rushing around cleaning house yesterday?! Cat, you need to rest - taking it easy isn't self-indulgence for you right now, its a requirement. Feet up.

[Jill]

The heat is annoying me today. It was so hot in the car driving about this weekend. Need air con!

[foot-loose]

We NEVER get weather like this Jill - dinna be moaning about the heat now!

[John22]

I agree with Jill; the heat was nicevon Saturday but was just a bit of a pain yesterday.
